When the US introduced legislation against the communist movement, that movement was for the most part centrally directed from Moscow, and had as its objective the destruction of the USA and its conquest and occupation by the Soviet army. Similar legislation against cypherpunks is unlikely to appeal to legislators, however much it appeals to you. --digsig James A.
